- Auto Browse launched for AI Pro and Ultra subscribers to automate tasks like shopping and booking via Chrome.
- Hands-on tests show the AI often makes poor choices, like selecting separate-row concert seats instead of side-by-side.
- The tool took 15 minutes to research camping spots but failed to verify availability, creating extra work.
- Security risks include vulnerability to prompt injection and concerns over sharing financial data with AI requiring human oversight.
